Why a front-drop valance changes the math
A SmartDrop front-drop valance adds 24 to 60 inches of vertical fabric to the leading edge of your awning, hung from the front bar. It blocks low-angle sun in the late afternoon — the exact hours most KC homeowners want to be on the deck — without retracting the canopy or adding posts. We spec it on roughly half of our awning installs.
Valance fabric should match or coordinate with your main canopy. We carry the full Sunesta valance palette and bring physical samples to compare in person. Pair with one of our retractable awning models, see all of our awning fabrics, or request a free quote.
The motorized SmartDrop wires through a junction inside the awning headbox so both the canopy and the valance share a single Somfy RTS hub and a single dedicated 15-amp circuit. That keeps the install clean and gives you independent remote channels for the canopy and the drop. Manual valances are also available with a stainless-steel crank if you prefer to skip the second motor.
